#Gothic, #Ghosts, and #Victorian Viagra, ~DANGER AT THATCHAM HALL by Frances Evesham #RBRT #Bookreviews, interview, excerpt

August 16, 2015

Arsenic poisoning was a common way for Victorians to die. They used it everywhere: in the new, fashionable green wallpaper that Queen Victoria used in Buckingham Palace; in the green dye of dresses; in “Dr Simms Arsenic Complexion Wafers and Medicated Arsenic Soap;” designed to give a woman a rosy complexion; and in a ‘pure’ form which men took to improve sexual function. Unfortunately, death often followed on the heels of such a use of “Victorian Viagra,” but at least those men died happy.

Dark #UrbanFantasy UNHINGED by Shelley Pickens #RBRT #Bookreview

July 27, 2015

“Doctor, this woman’s kidneys are missing.” We made it through various bits of eerie mayhem—including the alien birth (tastefully shown in silhouette behind a scrim, but I still recognized my daughter as the ‘mother’)—by not meeting the eyes of any other parents.

In most horror, it’s enough that the main characters survive Daddy coming for them with an axe. But in urban fantasy, they catch the ghost who drove Daddy crazy and charge him with income tax evasion, bring hot dish to the ghost’s mama, and maybe end up married to the ghost’s sister.

Null City Novel — Like us on Facebook and be the first to hear about new releases, free stories, and more!

Superpowers suck? Try Null City. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. But someone should have told them the angels were all on the other side.

Each morning, hope flares in the tiny flash of a second before I touch that first thing. And destroy it.

Warden Carey Parker's to-do list is already long enough: find her brother and sister, rescue her roommate, save Null City, and castrate her ex-boyfriend. Preferably with a dull-edged garden tool. A rusty one.

Two novellas: "Payback Is A Witch" & "Just For The Spell Of It"

The story of three women eating our way across India in search of adventure, elephants, temples, palaces, western toilets, monkeys, the perfect paratha…and the kindness of Indian strangers.
